• Do not place heavy objects on the power cord. • Do not bend, twist, or pull the power cord severely. • Do not run the power cord near heating equipment. If the power cord becomes damaged, consult your vendor or an Epson Service Center. - Page 11 The projector cabinet contains lenses, a lamp, and many other glass components. When handling any broken components, use care to avoid injury from fragments, and consult your vendor or an Epson Service Center for repair. Do not place breakable objects, containers of liquid, medicines, or similar items on the unit.
- Page 12 When moving the unit, switch off and unplug the unit and make sure that all cables are disconnected. Fire or electric shock may result. Never remove the lamp immediately after use. After shutting off the projector, allow an hour for complete cooling. Heat may cause burns or injury.
- Page 13 • Environments outside the temperature range for storage (-10°C to 60°C) may cause malfunction and deformation of the cabinet. Take particular care not to leave the projector for extended periods in locations exposed to direct sunlight. • Do not attempt projection with the lens cover in place. Heat may deform the lens cover.
